>parts that it isn't practical to restore them, or perhaps have some main frame

>I will eventually get around to testing the modules in a working radio, but

>Let me know what you might need and I can check to see what I have available.
>I can do digital pictures of items if needed.
>
>Condition wise, I will describe things carefully. Most of the knobs will need
>to be repainted to look their best, but all will have good threads and the
>proper set screws.
>
>In regard to pricing, I will do 75-80% of Fair Radio Sales prices, although
>there may be an occassional exception.
>
>I have dealt with a number of people on the list, and can provide references
>if you have any questions or concerns. I have a perfect rating on the auction
>place, but would prefer to sell this material on our list.
>
>My turn around on items won't be instanteneous, but I will do my best to
>respond promptly and will deal fairly. I have had great fun with these radios, and
>am happy to help others enjoy them as well.
>
>Drop me an email if you are looking for bits. I will be selling some of the
>surplus modules as well in the future, but won't do that until I have time to
>test them, so I can give an honest assessment of their function.
